Friday 23 October 1668

Up, and plasterers at work and painters about my house. Commissioner Middleton and I to St. James’s, where with the rest of our company we attended on our usual business the Duke of York. Thence I to White Hall, to my Lord Sandwich’s, where I find my Lord within, but busy, private; and so I staid a little talking with the young gentlemen: and so away with Mr. Pierce, the surgeon, towards Tyburne, to see the people executed; but come too late, it being done; two men and a woman hanged, and so back again and to my coachmaker’s, and there did come a little nearer agreement for the coach, and so to Duck Lane, and there my bookseller’s, and saw his moher, but elle is so big-bellied that elle is not worth seeing. So home, and there all alone to dinner, my wife and W. Hewer being gone to Deptford to see her mother, and so I to the office all the afternoon. In the afternoon comes my cozen, Sidney Pickering, to bring my wife and me his sister’s favour for her wedding, which is kindly done, and he gone, I to business again, and in the evening home, made my wife read till supper time, and so to bed. This day Pierce do tell me, among other news, the late frolick and debauchery of Sir Charles Sidly and Buckhurst, running up and down all the night with their arses bare, through the streets; and at last fighting, and being beat by the watch and clapped up all night; and how the King takes their parts; and my Lord Chief Justice Keeling hath laid the constable by the heels to answer it next Sessions: which is a horrid shame. How the King and these gentlemen did make the fiddlers of Thetford, this last progress, to sing them all the bawdy songs they could think of. How Sir W. Coventry was brought the other day to the Duchesse of York by the Duke, to kiss her hand; who did acknowledge his unhappiness to occasion her so much sorrow, declaring his intentions in it, and praying her pardon; which she did give him upon his promise to make good his pretences of innocence to her family, by his faithfulness to his master, the Duke of York. That the Duke of Buckingham is now all in all, and will ruin Coventry, if he can: and that W. Coventry do now rest wholly upon the Duke of York for his standing, which is a great turn. He tells me that my Lady Castlemayne, however, is a mortal enemy to the Duke of Buckingham, which I understand not; but, it seems, she is disgusted with his greatness, and his ill usage of her. That the King was drunk at Saxam with Sidly, Buckhurst, &c., the night that my Lord Arlington come thither, and would not give him audience, or could not which is true, for it was the night that I was there, and saw the King go up to his chamber, and was told that the King had been drinking. He tells me, too, that the Duke of York did the next day chide Bab. May for his occasioning the King’s giving himself up to these gentlemen, to the neglecting of my Lord Arlington: to which he answered merrily, that, by God, there was no man in England that had heads to lose, durst do what they do, every day, with the King, and asked the Duke of York’s pardon: which is a sign of a mad world. God bless us out of it!

Grey giving bow and doff of hat with sinister grin as they pass.

"Fellow garden in his spare time? I see he keeps a spade and shovel on his cab rack..." Sam notes.

"Haven't the foggiest..." Pierce, looking out the other window.

Debauchery

Buckhurst and Sedley had a known penchant for public drunken nakedness ensemble, a notorious prior instance of which Pepys had recorded

"Dr. Johnson relates the story in the “Lives of the Poets,” in his life of Sackville, Lord Dorset “Sackville, who was then Lord Buckhurst, with Sir Charles Sedley and Sir Thomas Ogle, got drunk [1 June 1663] at the Cock, in Bow Street, by Covent Garden, and going into the balcony exposed themselves to the populace in very indecent postures. At last, as they grew warmer, Sedley stood forth naked, and harangued the populace in such profane language, that the publick indignation was awakened; the crowd attempted to force the door, and being repulsed, drove in the performers with stones, and broke the windows of the house. For this misdemeanour they were indicted, and Sedley was fined five hundred pounds; what was the sentence of the others is not known. Sedley employed [Henry] Killigrew and another to procure a remission from the King, but (mark the friendship of the dissolute!) they begged the fine for themselves, and exacted it to the last groat.” The woman known as Oxford Kate appears to have kept the notorious Cock Tavern in Bow Street at this date. "

Thus arose The King v. Sir Charles Sedley, which in U.S. law is the original case both of obscene conduct and of pornography

This is almost my first comment, although I have been enjoying this group for some time.

I always assumed what Pepys got was a sort of buttonhole decoration or cockade made of white ribbon and given to all the men who attended. In general a wedding favor seems to have been some small remembrance given to guests and special friends -- as, indeed, it still is.

The sub-text of today's entry seems to be: "Other people have all the fun". Driven from home by the plasterers and painters, our man fails to speak to Sandwich, arrives too late for a hanging, discovers that Mrs Shrewsbury is too big-bellied to be worth looking at, then has to eat "all alone" and spend the rest of the afternoon working in the office. Meanwhile, others are having a fine old time...

It's not that SP actually wants to run up and down the streets of London with no clothes on, but part of him seems to be envious as well as appalled.

“there was no man in England that had heads to lose, durst do what they do, every day, with the King”

Subject to correction, I think:

there was no man in England who would dare to do what they do in the presence of the King; that is, no man who had a head to lose (beheading being implied as the appropriate punishment for what the King's companions do).

Or, simpler, just repunctuate a bit:

“there was no man in England, that had (a) head to lose, durst do what they do every day with the King”

Wedding favours.

According to a couple of sources that I have found, the typical upper-class wedding favour of the 17th century was a bonbonniere (of china or glass) that contained candied almonds or some other choice sweetmeat.

The tradition of giving wedding favours to guests goes back to the Greeks.

Why did Sam make an especial effort to see this execution? Had they become rare? He doesn't even mention the names of those who died, so it can't have been someone famous (cf Charles I's execution). Rather odd.

He mentions that Bess went with Will Hewer to visit her mother, but no mention of Deb accompanying her. Didn't want Deb to see how her parents lived maybe?

#1860. Presentment and requests of the Grand Jury (impannelled for this sessions of oyer and terminer and general gaol delivery, held the 20th Oct. 1668) to Gov. Lord Willoughby.

They present the churchwardens and other public officers for their great neglect touching the strict observance of the Lord's day.

They request his Excellency to give encouragement to the speedy erection of an inland town for security of the magazine, and free schools there, to prevent youth seeking education in foreign parts;

to take care that none officiate as ministers but those in holy orders of the Church of England;
that the Indian bridge be rebuilt;
that the late Acts for the regular building of St. Michael's be duly observed;
that care be taken to erect the manufactory of cotton and other manufactories;
to pass an Act regulating the exorbitant fees of public offices;
to erect a magazine in or about St. Michael's;
to repair the fortifications and erect others where needful;
and that none of the Jewish nation be suffered to retail any goods, "it being a privilege they are nowhere allowed," and "extremely prejudicial to the poor of our own nation, who might be comfortably supported thereby."

They present the hearty thanks of the island to his Excellency for his love, care, and good government, by which they have been preserved, "not only to the satisfaction but admiration of all his Majesty's loving subjects of this island."
Assure him that it is not without great sorrow that they have understood his intention to return to England;
and request him to silence in himself "those resentments which the prejudice of particular persons may have created,"
and by his Majesty's consent return to re-assume that authority which they hope his Majesty will enlarge to him.

Further, they request him to mediate with his Majesty for a right understanding of their loyalty, and for such advantages of trade and privileges as may tend to their encouragement and comfort;
and to return hearty thanks to his Majesty for supplying them in their late sufferings with ships, arms, and ammunition,
and for the bounteous provisions they understand he has further made for them.

Order of Council
on petition of Sir P. Musgrave, Bart., Governor of Carlisle garrison,

complaining of John Aglionby, alderman of Carlisle, for affronting the guards and officers in their prosecuting of his design to make a division between the city and garrison, fomenting false rumours in the heads of the citizens, &c.

Aglionby was summoned before the Board, and — after many expressions of
esteem from the King of Sir P. Musgrave's fidelity and good services to his late
and present Majesty, especially in his prudent governing of Carlisle, and of
displeasure against Aglionby for affronting the Governor, and procuring a writing from the city endangering its quiet, and containing false aspersions of the Governor - the Board declared the garrison officers innocent of the accusation.

Aglionby was ordered to acknowledge his misdemeanour to Sir Philip and the
officers' satisfaction, publicly in presence of the mayor and aldermen, within a
month, and the letter, obtained surreptitiously by him from the city, was ordered to be rescinded from the acts of the corporation.

"It's not that SP actually wants to run up and down the streets of London with no clothes on, but part of him seems to be envious as well as appalled."

I think Pepys is suffering from the same middle class angst we suffer from today. That Charles II and Chief Justice Keeling would take the side of two drunk, naked aristocrats over a constable vainly trying to keep the peace is just infuriating.
Pepys is envious of their undeserved privilege, just as today we want billionaires to pay more taxes than the common joe, and women want rapists to go to prison.

San Diego Sarah  •  Link

"Why did Sam make an especial effort to see this execution? Had they become rare? He doesn't even mention the names of those who died, so it can't have been someone famous (cf Charles I's execution). Rather odd."

I think Pepys wanted to hear Pearse's gossip from Little Saxham, but Pearse had to get to the execution in order to get his vials of blood from the condemned. They practiced what we now call Corpse Medicine. So Pepys hitched a ride in his carriage.

In 1685 drops made from human skull were among treatments given to the dying Charles II.

In 1647 the preacher and author, Thomas Fuller, referred to mummy as “good physic but bad food”. His statement implies that medical processes could somehow refine human flesh, elevating it above the savagery of cannibalism.

In the late 17th century, the Puritan minister Edward Taylor wrote that “human blood, drunk warm and new is held good in the falling sickness”.

Drinking human blood “recent and hot” was still being recommended for epilepsy by English physicians in 1747.

When the subject had died in a healthy state, his vitality undiminished by age or disease, that was the ideal. Had he died from disease, his youth would have been wasted, the vital spirits decreasing with the blood. Ideally, therefore, the corpse should have been drowned, strangled or smothered.

A violent death produces fear. Medical theory held that fear forcibly expelled the spirits from vital organs (liver, heart and brain) into the flesh – hence the prickling of hair or skin, and flashing of the eyes. This kind of flesh would, accordingly, be especially potent.
https://www.historyextra.com/peri…

And no, executions were not rare.
In cities without an organized police force, the fear of crime was real and ever-present, and so the authorities responded with harsher and harsher penalties.
In 1688, there were 50 offences listed as being punishable by death;
by 1776, there were almost 200;
by 1799, 220.
Prostitutes and pickpockets feared both the cells of Newgate Prison, and the "triple-tree" of the Tyburn gallows, where Marble Arch stands today.

"my wife and W. Hewer being gone to Deptford to see her mother,"

I'm struck by how little work Hewer is doing these days. But as I just posted, at a time "without an organized police force, the fear of crime was real and ever-present" and if Hewer wasn't going along to defend Elizabeth, Pepys would have to do it. That's why really rich men had footmen running besides the coach, and the King had his ever-present Body Guards made up of noblemen.

I remember seeing a film about Marie Antoinette's run for the German border and freedom; in one scene she looks out of her coach window and exclaims, "There ain't no guards!" Immortal words.

Corpse medicine continued: Chancellor Sir Francis Bacon once remarked that skull moss, which was thought to be good for nosebleeds, could be harvested from the “heaps of slain bodies lying unburied over in Ireland.”

Moss-covered skulls looted from the battlefields became a common sight in London druggist shops.

The marketing of their skulls for consumption was one more brutality in a long list of oppressions practiced against the Irish at that time. The fact that there was money to be made, particularly from the export of skulls, seemed to be enough to keep anyone, English or otherwise, from questioning the ethics of this business for an uncomfortably long time. Germany had a particularly big hunger for corpse medications. So there was a brisk trade in pillaging Irish skulls and selling them to Germany.
